Tuesday
New episode of The Rookie tonight.
I'll be able to catch the last half when sprints are done. Then watch the full thing via Amazon.
I've been reading THE TRUST and liking it. I posted it a couple days ago but here it is again. THE TRUST by M.H. Eccleston. 1st of 3 in Astrid Swift mystery series.
When London art restorer Astrid Kisner's marriage unravels in spectacular fashion, she has no idea what to do. Then she finds out she has inherited a property in Dorset. She doesn’t hesitate in packing in her job and heading west. But when she gets there, she discovers the property isn't a pretty cottage by the sea, but a leaky boat on a muddy estuary. Her new job at a nearby National Trust stately home brings a few surprises, too. Rather than a genteel charity, the Trust is a hotbed of politics and intrigue. As her new friend Kath from the village says, 'It's like the mafia, but with scones.' So when a local man is found murdered there, there are more than a few suspects. Astrid thinks she's perfectly placed to solve the case: it's like restoring a painting, slowly peeling back the layers to reveal the clear, true picture beneath. But as the suspicious deaths mount up and the threat draws closer, Astrid has to use every gadget in her restorer's toolkit to solve the mystery, save her reputation - and maybe even her life.
Published 2022; 336 pages. It took quite a while to get to the crime but I didn't mind it this time.
I also got a library hold today but I'll talk about it tomorrow. Sprints tonight. Steve has a board meeting.
Have a good day
Much love,
PK the Bookeemonster
